The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Re-watched "The Beat My Heart Skipped" which led me back to "Fingers" (1978) and the original trailer which promises "Fingers ... will touch you." Simpler times!

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

First review of my new book LONDON FALLING, from Kirkus. At a moment when every day feels like a month and every month feels like a year, April 7 is still a very long way off. But the book is available for pre-order now. 🙏
